The American Mountain Men is an association of individuals dedicated to the preservation of the traditions and ways of our nation’s greatest, most daring explorers and pioneers, the Mountain Men; to the actual conservation of our nation’s remaining natural wilderness and wildlife; and to the ability of our members to survive alone, under any circumstances, using only what nature has to offer. Although we are now world-wide, we are not a large group. We are not interested in the quantity of members; we are interested in the quality of members. The primary characteristic is, first and foremost, to be a Brotherhood of Men. In this fraternal concept is embedded the desire of all its members to teach, share, and learn the arts and skills of the original American mountain men, but deeper still, is the desire to be upon the trail, on lake or river, in mountains, plains or woods, as brothers, sharing this great experience. The sense of camaraderie and the shared endeavor are more important, always, than individual gain.
Membership
There are different levels of membership in the American Mountain Men.
PILGRIM. Membership in the AMM is by invitation only, it requires sponsorship by either two (2) AMM members holding Bossloper degree or one (1) AMM member holding Hiverrano degree. To explore the possibility of membership, you should contact the brigade booshway or any other known AMM member and tell him a little about yourself and discuss opportunities to camp, primitively, with AMM members. If, after those camps, you are invited and accept the invitation, you may apply to become a Pilgrim. Once sponsored as a Pilgrim, you will have a minimum of one year and a maximum two years to complete the requirements to become a full member (Bossloper).
BOSSLOPER. Once you have entered the Pilgrim phase you have two years to complete any ten of a list of requirements with numbers 1 and 2 being mandatory, (16 is not required) You will be mentored by your sponsor(s), seasoned AMM members, who will guide you through the requirements and their process. At the completion of a minimum of ten requirements within two years you will be accepted as a full member or Bossloper and will receive your membership number.
